"Ayesha,Rahul to so gya. I am making him lay down on this couch. And mai tumhare couch pr aa rhi hu. Make some space for me." Aarushi said and then came on The couch where Kartik-Naira-Ayesha-varun were sitting. To make some space for her everyone shifted, Since it was a small couch. When Naira shifted,she realised that she is almost sitting on Kartik. She jerked up to see him but his focus was on Movie. But here she was completely distracted,she was almost sitting on him. She was feeling goosebumps in her whole body. She tried to make space between them,but due to imbalance she was about to fall down but just then a hand snaked around her waist pulling her onto his lap. A shiver ran down her spine. She again looked up to see him busy in his movie. Like nothing happened! But here she was feeling heat rising up in her whole body. But still she managed to look at the screen and tried to distract herself from this new feelings which were engulfing her.

While here Kartik was watching movie. No,he was just pretending to watch it because his body,his mind and his heart was just focused on Naira who was sitting on him. Seeing her like this,was bringing new desires in him,which even he wasn't aware of. He was trying to distract himself but seems like that was the most difficult thing to do when Naira was sitting on him. And was awakening some new, unknown desires.

They sat like that in whole movie. With fluttering heart and with unknown desires and feelings.

Now,all were sleeping and here Naira was busy in thinking about her life. She wasn't getting any sleep. First their moment and second her life,her problems  weren't letting her sleep.

She stood up and walked to her favorite place, balcony. She sat on the swing chair and looked at the outstretched black sky. wind blew and engulfed her just like the questions,the problems which were engulfing her mind. A tear escaped when she remembered that day but before that tear can touch the floor. A hand,a palm stopped it from falling. She looked up from the palm to the person to whom she was feeling connected from quite a few days,who was arising some new, unknown feelings in her. And again making her connect to this world!

"Kartik!" She breathed out his Name and a beautiful feeling crept in her heart when she heard herself speaking his name.

Here,His eyes were piercing her soul. Were trying to know what's going on in  her head. When he saw a tear escaping from her eyes,his heart thudded and a pinch of sadness started Throbbing his heart. He immediately stopped that tear to fall on the ground as if it was very precious. He just didn't know what he was doing but one thing he knew,that sad linings on her face,those tears weren't looking good to him instead it was stabbing his heart. When he first saw her,yes in the cafe. He didn't get to see a chirpy girl contrast to her face. If anybody see her from afar then they can be mistaken in taking her as a bubbly girl but  He could see something wasn't good with her. But shrugged off those feelings thinking that everyone has problems in their lives. She could also have them. That's not a big deal but today when he saw that shining pearl rolling down her cheeks,he realised that he can't see that salty droplet again.

"Naira!" He called her name with such desperation that she was also surprised. He wanted to ask her that why is she crying, what's the problem she is facing, what's making her so weak but stopped from Asking further. Because he thought that with which right he will ask her from this.

Friends? But they don't seem like one. And more than that. He couldn't think. Alteast according to their present equation. He was so longing to ask her but why will she tell him? That was another question that he was dealing with! He broke their eye contact and looked forward. He wasn't ready to see those colourless pearls again. He walked forward and held the railing, looking for answers in that black sky.

She moved to him as if something was pulling her towards him. Both stood there for sometime. Silence prevailed between them but their silence was speaking volumes.

" I was very happy with my life.  She started and looked at him. He looked at her asking her to continue but when she hesitated. He kept his hand on hers which was on railing assuring her. His warmth provided comfort to her and she started telling her pain. Unravelling her scars in front of him.

Mera childhood bahut acha tha. Mumma- papa mujhse bahut pyaar krte the. Or m bhi Unse. They used to treat me like princess. But jab badi hoti gyi. I was introduced to restrictions. Well,In indian society, it's all common for us,for girls but still humare paas itni to freedom honi chahiye ki hum Apna profession decide kr ske..apna career  bana ske. Hume apne sapne pure krne ka mauka mile. But it didn't happen with me. When I told  My parents that I want to study further and want to build my career. Wo nhi maane. Unhone kaha tumhare bhai earn kr rhe h...tumhare papa earn kr rhe h. That's enough. But they didn't understand that I also have some dreams, some goals which I want to achieve. I tried convincing them but all in vain. I couldn't see my dreams shattering in front of me. So,I left the house and started doing various jobs. I took admission in the college and started studying. But still unki kami humesha khalti h, akele rehna itna bhi asaan nhi hota. Or jab to bilkul bhi nhi jab aapko pta ho ki aapki success ko celebrate krne wala koi nhi h ,aapke  failure m aapko support krne wala koi nhi h. And she poured her heart out in front of him. Tears were rolling down her cheeks. Every thought broke her more and more. She didn't know why she told him all this. She never told this to anyone but him. Maybe she could see that he would understand her,console her. Maybe when she saw the concern in his eyes for her,or those feelings which were in those dark brown orbs which were trying to  see inner her, which were trying to open the doors of her heart. And the thing was that  the door to her heart is opened for him. Only for him!.
